Tires YOKOHAMA or Goodyear

YOKOHAMA Tires

Had one of those Pathfinders. Thirsty, but it'll go until you're bored. Massive ground clearance, and handles super well for some reason. Had Yokohama Geolandar ATs on it and it could do anything in any conditions.

Pros: massive ground clearance, handles well
Cons: thirsty

I drove the Vector gen3 for two winters just because they came almost brand new with my car. I am a very calm and mindful driver and my suv is 150hp (awd) and top speed 170 km/h, so the performance never felt lacking , including druring blizzards and on shiny slippery ice. That's with my driving style and without mountains, mostly flat roads. But I feel that if you constantly push them to the limit, you may get mixed results. Especially on compacted snow with frozen tire tracks, it can be quite unsettling experience. I think the excellent awd made it feel sufficient, but I never felt completely stable and completely safe. All-seasons are usually a bearable compromise and aren't excellent at anything. This Goodyear felt rather solid and just the fact I could drive in 40C and highway speeds, and in -15C in snow is very impressive. BUT at only 3 years old they were already dry rotting and all cracked, to the point one started leaking through the sidewall. Tread wear was also very rapid. The Goodyear had so much noise, including some vibrations and even a loud roar at high(er) speed. I honestly thought it might be my rear diff indicating it wants an oil change. I didn't know it was all just from the tires. Now I only hear some slight wind and nothing else. I guess the all-season compound baked during the summer and lost its qualities, just as the winter compound would.

Pros: good performance in blizzards/ice, drives in extreme temperatures
Cons: unsettling on compacted snow, not completely stable/safe, dry rotting at 3 years, rapid tread wear,

My first mini had about 3 degrees and would get about 5k miles out of a pair of front tyres. That was with yokohama A008s all round.

Cons: low mileage, fast wear
